1. In large bowl, combine cracked wheat, raisins, brown sugar, salt, margarine and 2 cups boiling water mix well. Let cool to 105 to 115°F.
2. In small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water (105 to 115°F.). Add dissolved yeast and 2 cups flour to cracked wheat mixture blend at low speed until moistened. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed. By hand, stir in an additional 2 1/2 to 3 cups flour until dough pulls cleanly away from sides of bowl.
3. On floured surface, knead in remaining 1/2 to 1 cup flour until dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place dough in greased bowl cover loosely with greased plastic wrap and cloth towel. Let rise in warm place (80 to 85°F.) until light and doubled in size, 45 to 60 minutes.
4. Grease large cookie sheet. Punch down dough several times to remove all air bubbles. Divide dough in half shape each into a ball. Place on greased cookie sheet. Cover let rise in warm place until light and doubled in size, 45 to 60 minutes.
5. Heat oven to 350°F. Uncover dough. With sharp knife, slash a 1/2-inch-deep lattice design on top of each loaf. Brush with beaten egg. Bake at 350°F. for 35 to 45 minutes or until loaves sound hollow when lightly tapped. Immediately remove from cookie sheet cool on wire racks for 1 hour or until completely cooled.
